Suppose you open the envelop and there is 20 dollars in it.
So in the other envelop there is either 10 dollars or 40 dollars.

I'd say: as soon as you say this, realize it's a mistake, a contradiction, and "erase" your statement. Seeing one envelop tells you nothing about the other. But some people who probably know what they're doing don't think that's enough to say.
